How to Deal With Water Damage After a Flood
A flood in your home can have devastating effects. When water levels rise, there is not much that can be done until after the fact. Flooding can be due to almost any source such as a storm that produced too much rain, improper drainage, faulty hoses or pipes, and many more.
Either way, the outcome is generally the same. You got lucky and escaped with just a mess of water to clean up, or you have lost majority of your life to an indoor pool you did not ask for. Possessions can be lost and damaged, such a precious photos and documents.
Even when the water itself is gone, the damage remains in things like lingering odours and risk of mould and mildew growing in the left over moisture.
